HOUSE
Arrest ofaNEurdercr.

EFFINGHAM, ILL.,, Jan. 6.-Much excite
ment was created here by the news of the
arrest at Nashville, Tenn, of Joshua NJ.
Doyle for the shooting and killing of Mich
olas Dausch, German barber, in this city
May %, 1866. States Attorney Harrah left
for Nashville last evening to defend ba-
beas corpus sued out by Doyle. In 1866
DOYLE was q school teacher here. In May
of that year he killed Dausch in saloon
without provocation. He was Immediately
arrested and was duly indicted. Public
sentiment ran very high against him, and it
was with much difficulty that Sheriff Humes
prevented lynching. In the Jail with him
were five other murderers under sentence
OF death, and all these, on the night of June
Is, 1866. made their escape by means OF
false keys and by saving bars. Doyle's is
the first arrest of any of these escaped muir
derers. Several attempts have been made
to get Doyle, but all proved futile. He was
located in Kansas and then in Tennessee,
but in some manner he would gain informa-
ton OF his pursuers and always sought sue
cessfu refuge in the mountains. Doyle still
has relations here, and his conviction will
be stubbornly contested. Many Of the wit
nesses of the shooting have died.

The Gazette.

The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE has entered upon
the eighty eighth year Of its life, and though the
Oldest paper in the State next to the Leesburg
Washingtonian, it is still possessed of youthful
vgor. Occasionally it gets on the wrong track
and pursues its course with an energy worthy of
better cause, but it gets all right after while
and will do so again SOON WarentOn Wrgimian.
The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE on Saturday began
the SSth year of its existence. Notwithstanding
its age and the high standard set up in its early
days, the GAZETTE keeps fully up to the mark,
and in all things is abreast of the times Its news
